The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 685

The triplets missed Jean very much as they hadn’t seen him for 2 days.

“Mommy, what’s Uncle Jean doing? He’s so busy.”

“I haven’t seen him for a long time. I miss him.”

“Mommy, why don’t we visit him? Is he at home?”

Neera quickly stopped them. “Uncle Jean is very busy right now. He had to deal with some important matters in his company and he couldn't get away. You guys shouldn’t go over to bother him.”

“Okay.”

The triplets were dejected.

“It’s just for a few days. He will be free soon. Be patient, okay?”

The triplets were a little disappointed, but they still responded obediently.

“Will Uncle Jean be sick again? He’s working day and night!”

Penny proposed, “Why don’t we make some nutritious soup for him? It will be good for his body and relieve his fatigue.”

“That’s a great idea!” Neera agreed with them.



After the triplets had gone to bed, Neera packed the soup and went next door.

Jean was still in his study. He didn’t notice that Neera was here.

Ian was about to greet her but Neera hushed him quietly. He understood and sat back down.

Neera gently closed the door behind her and walked quietly to the couch.

She didn't disturb Jean.

It wasn't until Jean smelled something nice that he looked up.

Neera was smiling at him.

“Why didn’t you say anything?”

Neera smiled and walked to him, "I arrived not long ago. I saw that you’re busy. Do you want to take a rest now?”

She placed the soup in front of Jean.

“The triplets and I made this for you. They were worried about your health. You have to drink to the last drop. Don’t let them down.”

Jean was touched by their gestures and smiled. “Stay here with me.”

Neera gladly accompanied him.

She helped him organize the documents and put them aside. She remembered Ian and looked at him. “I’ve made some snacks for you, they’re downstairs. Go have them while they're hot."

Ian's eyes light up, "Thank you, Mrs. Beauvort.”

He quickly went downstairs.

Jean drank the soup quietly while Neera went through the papers.

"Aren't you done yet? You have so much to do!"

Jean nodded, "There's still part of the accounts to go through."

Neera's heart ached for him.

After thinking about it, she asked, "Are you worried about leaking private and confidential details? If not, I'll help you."

"They are quite complicated, it may be difficult to sort them out at once."

Neera shook her head, "It's okay, I'll try."

Jean did not want her to work with him. He had no choice but to let her do it since she insisted.

He picked a simple document for her.

“Enjoy your soup. I’ll take a look at it.”

Fortunately, Neera had some accounting experience at Startales. She could catch on quickly.

Neera checked some of the accounts and circled the ones with problems for Jean.

Jean occasionally asked her, "Are you tired?"

"No."

They were busy until past midnight, Jean suddenly felt a weight on his shoulders.
